LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 16, 1968 No. 16 New system due for LU library Open shelf The university library will change from its present closed shelf system to the more modern open shelf system this summer, said James G. Volny, head librarian. The change will probably take place between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of the summer term, said Volny. Volny also said that the present closed shelf system was established when the library was erected in 1950. Volny explained that the change was necessary because "the types of assignments that students are working on have changed, and often require the student to work with many sources instead of just one or two reserved books." Volny said that "the major thing wrong with the closed stacks is that it is frustrating to the user." Volny explained that often the student would have to make several trips between the circulation desk and the card cataloguecatalogue before he could find a book that he needed. "The open stacks should eliminate these trips," said Volny. Volny stated that the major problem in installing the new system will be in the check-out procedure. The open stack system will require that students' briefcases and bags be inspected for unchecked books and material. He said that such an inspection is not unusual. It is used in most universities that have the open stack system, he said. Volny said that the library is also modernizing the check-out system. Among the systems being studied are the automated system and the key sorts system, said Volny. Either system would greatly improve the efficiency of the library, he said. Volny emphasized that the new changes will not in any way reduce the number of hours that the library is open, nor will they reduce any of the other services of the library.

Laws on homosexuality problem, says doctors By HILDA DORE Present laws are more of a problem than homosexuality, according to Dr. Edward Knight, clinical professor of psychology at Louisiana State University. In a recent informal talk on homosexuality by Dr. Knight and Dr. William Sorren, associate professor of psychology at Tulane University, Dr. Knight said, "We're punishing people for neurosis or psychosis." Dr. Sorren feels that laws force these people to relate to a homosexual subculture. "The label of homosexual is misleading, anti-social, and crazy," he said. It was pointed out by Dr. Knight that no one can be arrested for being a homosexual, only for being involved in an honosexual act. He said private consenting sexual behavior between adults should be legal. "Actually it is not a legal but a moral matter," he said. Dr. Sorren said the erotic function of homosexuals is distinct for each individual. The three main aspects of the erotic drive are the object which brings about maximum stimulation, the process by which the individual becomes involved with the object, and the purpose for involvement. Listing the three personality types —male, female, boyish or perpetual adolescent—Dr. Sorren said any of these types can be homosexual or heterosexual. There are specific points in infancy and adolescence during which a person is particularly susceptible to external influences which may bring about homosexual tendencies, Dr. Sorren said. Dr. Knight said that there are various reasons why people identify with the homosexual subculture. They may join for security, dependency, power or to escape society's hostile attitude toward them, he said. The homosexual is often hard to treat because of his culture, resistence and defensiveness, or public humiliation, Dr. Sorren said. He added that a person cannot be forced into psychotherapy, but that he must choose for himself. "The best cure for this illness is internal prohibition, that is, he must want to change," he said. This was the second in a series of lectures sponsored by the Student Union. Student freedom of expression, inquiry to be topic of discussion The President's Committee on Student Rights and Freedoms will hold its second regular meeting Thursday, Feb. 22, in room 2C of Danna Center at 1 p.m. The committee has invited Ralph T. Bell, Leonard White, and Allan Jacobs of WWL-TV, along with their selected student representatives to attendattend the meeting which will discuss student freedom of expression and inquiry, including censorship. Student affairs is also on the agenda. In an effort to write a statement of student rights and freedoms for Loyolans, the committee is currently engaged in the re-editing and dis- Four top recording groups to appear In Field House The Beach Boys, the Buffalo Springfield, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, and another unannounced group will appear in the Field House on Thursday, April 18, said Tom Wright, Student Council president. This concert, which is sponsored by the Student Council, is part of a tour that the groups will make of this area of the U.S. Wright made the announcement at the Student Council meeting held this week, which was broadcasted by the WOLF radio station. As one of the first singing groups to popularize the sport of surfing, the Beach Boys gained fame for such songs as "Little Surfer Girl," "I Get Around," and "Do You Wanna Dance?" The Buffalo Springfield's big seller was "For What It's Worth," a song which questions the life of our generation.The Strawberry Al arm Clock, whose current hit is "Tomorrow," became immediately popular with their first single, "Incense and Peppermint." Wright announced that the fourth group to appear will probably be the Soul Survivors, who recorded "Expressway to Your Heart." Loyola document will soon define student freedoms The President's Committee on Student Rights and Freedoms met in open session for the first time last Thursday in Danna Center and discussed matters concerning the eventual formulation of a Loyola statement on the rights of students. Dr. John Christman, a member of the committee, had prepared a partial "editorial revision" of the recently amended statement on student rights and freedoms as approved by the National Student Associatoin and the American Association of University Professors. Christman admitted that much of the revision was a product of his own personal editing, but that it served as a "place to start from" in context with Loyola University. He said the document is a basic representation of Loyola's "policy as opposed to its procedure" in guaranteenig student rights and freedoms. The committee will "unofficially" adopt the edited revision at the next meeting on Feb. 22, according to committee chairman Henry Engler. He said that changes will be discussed at any time for any part of the document to April 18, which the committee'has designated as its "safety-valve day." On this day the committee will go through the entire revision once again and polish the wording and phrasing before they write the final draft of Loyola's document on April 25. Most of the changes discussed evolve around grammatical uses and definitions of terms that could cause confusion and misinterpretation for Loyola studenst. The committee is also in the process of orienting the document to the specific needs of Loyola students, according to Dr. Christman. The committee criticised the editorial version from the Preamble, down to and including all of Section 111. It defined "academic community" as three distinct components of the University-students, faculty and administration. This, then, eliminates many members of the University community, such as the janatorial staff and the secretarial staff. Also discussed at the meeting was Loyola's admission policy. The revised version of the document states that no prospective student will be denied admission regardless of "race, religion or national origin." There were only minor changes involving verb tenses in Sections II and 111, regarding student freedom in the classroom and disclosure of student records. On the problem of disclosure, Engler said Registrar Ted Pfeifer will be invited to a future meeting in order to "clear up certain University policies concerning the matter." Engler said that students should once again be reminded that these meetings are open to them, that the purpose of the meetings is to obviously help the students and that it could do nothing but benefit them should they decide to attend. Besides the four student representatives on the committee and the writer of this report, only one student showed up for the meeting. Court dates not set for arrested LU students No court dates have been set yet for the two Loyola students arrested last week on a charge of possession of marijuana, said Girard Fernandez, defense attorney for George Troxell. Troxell, an A&S senior and Steve Baker, an A&S sophomore, were released last week under $1500 bond after police said they found marijuana gleanings on their clothing. A spokesman for the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office said Wednesday that tests are still being run on the remains of Mark Robinson, an ex- Loyola student who was found dead by the arrested pair in an apartment last week for what was termed carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty heater. Michael Killebrew, another former Loyola student who was found in the apartment last week in a semi-conscious state, is still listed in fair condition at Charity Hospital, a spokesman for the hospital said. A spokesman for the New Orleans Police Department said there have been no new developments in the case. He also said that no charges have been filed against Killebrew. Loyola Theatre to present two one-act plays; set for Marquette Auditorium on March 7, 8, 9 The Loyola University Theatre will present two one-act plays on March 7, 8 and 9 at 8:30 p.m. in Marquette Auditorium. The two plays are Michel de Ghelderode's "The Women at the Tomb" and Christopher Fry's "A Phoenix Too Frequent." The setting for "The Women at the Tomb" is Jerusalem on the first Good Friday. The action revolves around six women—Martha, Mary, Veronica, Mary Magdelene, the cured woman and the woman taken in adultery—who meet by chance in a house that seems to have been deserted by its occupants. However, they go to the house because they seek temporary refuge from the maddened crowds before making an attempt to reach Christ's tomb. The women then abuse each other, forcibly reminding the audience that they are human beings who, in knowing Christ, had undergone an experience that they could not fully understand. The cast for "The Women at the Tomb" includes: Beth Collins, the midwife; Patricia Lynch, the layer-out; Toni Trimarchi, Magdalene; Kathy Kiligore, Martha; Michelle Miller, Mary. Also, Harianne Berger, the cured woman; Roseanne Coletti, the woman taken in adultery; Margot Romillo, Pilate's wife; Frances Mandill, Yocabeth; Warren Mouladoux. John; and Margie Corbett as the old woman. "The Women at the Tomb" is under the direction of W. Patrick Harrigan of the drama-speech department."A Phoenix Too Frequent" is a comedy which concerns a beautiful young Grecian widow who is planning to die in stately grief in the tomb of her late husband. The play ironically illustrates how the lady is saved from her suicidal determination when she is courted by a youthful soldier who guards the bodies of some executed soldiers. Lee Greer will portray the widow Dynamene. Holly Krummenacher will play her maid, Doto and Phil Rosenquist will portray the soldier. "A Phoenix Too Frequent" is being directed by drama-speech department faculty member Leo Zinser.
